NCAA Basketball Betting Lines

06/21/2010 - Springfield, MO (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Missouri State has extended the contract of men's head basketball coach Cuonzo Martin.

The deal was approved by the University Board of Governors on Friday.

Martin will earn a base salary of $140,000 and his total compensation package could reach an estimated $300,000 through income generated from television and radio shows and promotional compensation.

The 38-year-old Martin became the Bears head coach on April 1, 2008 and originally signed a five-year contract. The extension locks him up through the 2014-15 season.

Missouri State and Martin authored the fifth best turn around in the country last season, going from 11-20 in 2008-09 to 24-12 and matching Kansas for the national lead in home victories.

"Cuonzo and his family have been great additions to the community, the University and certainly to the program," said athletic director Kyle Moats. "Under his leadership, we feel our basketball program is in good hands and on the right track."

The school also announced that all three of Martin's assistant coaches will receive pay raises.
